A Daemen College think tank grant-supported study was conducted as a collaborative academic-practice study. Appreciative Inquiry was used to assist nurses at a community hospital who had earned the coveted Magnet Designation to identify strengths as well as a vision for the future. Participants included nurses, nurse leaders, nurse administrators, nurse educators and nurse practitioners to gain a broader perspective. Nurse leaders were interviewed to identify the unique strengths and achievements experienced as a Magnet Designated organization. Inductive content analysis was used to identify themes that included the strengths and achievements experienced, as well as a vision for future organizational growth.
